Travelling from Gujarat to Calicut he witnesses the ritual dance of the Indian Abyssinians, which culminates in a fire-walking frenzy. In the Maldives, Tim explores Ibn Battutah's claim that he had discovered the secret of formidable sexual prowess. Taking to the Maritime Silk Route, Tim heads to China. He meets a clan who trace their ancestry back to Arabs, and witnesses an illegal Arabic lesson - the authorities are quick to equate learning Arabic with Islamic fundamentalism.
